# Acquire show content

*/Processes/Acquire_show_content*

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: digital
**Digital**: 0.85
**Rationale**: Because there are no seeded child occupations for this process, the scalar is derived directly from its name and industry context (Media Streaming and Broadcasting). 'Acquire show content' involves licensing, negotiation, contract review, and procurement—all information and knowledge-based work that occurs via digital channels, mapping to the 'digital' band.

## Process Profile

**Outcome**: The show's licensing rights are secured and its digital assets are ingested into the media asset management system ready for distribution.
**Trigger**: A broadcasting network or streaming platform identifies a programming gap or receives a pitch for a new show.
**Key Steps**:
- Identify programming needs and target audience demographics
- Review pitches, pilot episodes, or available syndication catalogs
- Negotiate licensing fees, territorial rights, and exclusivity windows
- Execute legal contracts and financial acquisition agreements
- Receive digital media master files, promotional assets, and metadata
- Perform quality control checks on the received audio and video files
- Ingest the finalized show content into the media asset management system
**Measured By**:
- [Content Acquisition Cost](/Metrics/Content_Acquisition_Cost)
- [Acquisition Cycle Time](/Metrics/Acquisition_Cycle_Time)
- [Asset Quality Control Pass Rate](/Metrics/Asset_Quality_Control_Pass_Rate)
- [Rights Utilization Rate](/Metrics/Rights_Utilization_Rate)

## Boundary Of Firm

**Outsourced To**:
- [Content Distributor](/CompanyTypes/Content_Distributor)
- [Production Studio](/CompanyTypes/Production_Studio)
**Automatability**: assisted
**Routing Summary**:
- Editorial selection and deal negotiation are kept in-house under programming and content acquisition.
- Finished programming is bought from distributors and studios under license, with rights windows and obligations tracked in a rights management system.
